Hello, i had a 700r welded, on the bell housing, and it worked fine, i had the trany shipped to me, and when i got it, the ear was broke off, rite where the bolt hole lined up with the block, cost me 50.00. I did have a little problem tho, The weld was in the way just a bit, so it made it hard to tighten it down, but you could do it...lol. it worked great..good luck and have a great day...
